This patch might *apply* on 5.4 (and the other kernels you selected it
for), but then I'm pretty sure it'll be broken, unless you also applied
the various patches this was actually fixing (my kvmalloc conversion,
and the clang-11 support).

Also, Linus has (correctly) reverted this patch from mainline, it
shouldn't have gone there in the first place, probably really should be
squashed into my kvmalloc conversion patch that's in -mm now.

Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough at the time.


In any case, please drop this patch from all stable trees.
